Dude, if you're gonna crack on him for bandwidth at least snip out the
considerable comments like so. 🙂

Bernoulli's Equation....wasn't that the movie with Nicholas Cage and...Oh
wait a second. Sorry, I was thinking of Archimedes The Sandreckoner with
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. No wait a second....

I thought maybe the 2004 BMW ran Windows. I meant newer than 1999... Ben

Were you, or the misguided person(s) who gave you that 3000. not
out of touch, you/he/she/they would know that, like its other
major competitors - Gateway, HP/Compaq, IBM - Dell has arranged
its home/home office/small business desktop computer lines into
three tiers, the 2xxx/now 3000 series of basic entry-level
computers, the 4xxxx series of mid-level desktops, and the
8xxx/soon to be or now 9000 series of higher level desktops.

Had your donor taken the time to read the info readily available
on the Dell website pages featuring the 3000, they would have
seen by the technical specs that it was an entry-level computer
with integrated graphics, with no AGP/PCI-E slot, limited empty
PCI slots, no second internal drive bay, etc, etc, etc. Then,
knowing you as well as I would hope they know you, they could
have gone up to the 4xxx or 8xxx Dell, which offer increasing
flexibility in both pre- and post-purchase configuration/upgrade
potential with more slots, drive bays, etc, as shown in /their
technical specs..

Dell [or Gateway, or HP/Compaq, or ...] can't make anyone *read*
the information they put on their web pages about any of their
computer models. All they can do, and have done, is make it
available to be read by anyone computer literate enough to know
that they should /always/ read the specs on any computer they are
considering for purchase for themselves or as a gift..

I'd categorize them as:
Level 1 - Disposal/Non-upgradeable, every corner cut to lower price,
basic beginner use, no demanding games.
Level 2 - Semi-Upgradeable, may have slightly lower performance components,
some corners cut but you can pay to uncut them.
Level 3 - Upgradeable, latest technology, handles demanding applications.

Can't really argue with your categorization. I've had 8xxxs [L3]
at work, and 4xxx [L2] at home. My first home Dells were the
then L1 Lxxx series [L733s to be specific]. The 4400 I have at
home meets all my needs - since I don't do anything exotic with
it like heavy graphics apps, games, etc. Just basic plain
vanilla computing. But given program and data file bloat, I
always want that second internal HD bay for expansion when the
time comes - as it inevitably does. ;->
